Couple of years past the 93' cutoff, but White Zombie's "More Human than Human" is (or more probably was) a big strip club song.
I'd think it fits if the judge will allow it.

It's in the spirit of the poll, definitely. Also, I love it.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 20 August 2010 22:52 (fourteen years ago) link
Not at all feeling that. I felt like White Zombie belonged in the actual metal poll. Weren't they nommed?
― meat by mistake (kkvgz), Friday, 20 August 2010 22:56 (fourteen years ago) link
I mean, the "stripper" thing isn't as central to the poll as all that. I was basically taking a joke from the other thread and playing it out. People were complaining about the lack of fun metal, hair metal, so this poll's about hair metal. Rock and roll. White Zombie's awesome, but they aren't part of that thing. They're more part of the 90s hard rock alternative thing.

I mean, I have a serious love for "More Human Than Human". It's a jam for me.

Good points all.

Okay, I just checked out that Manic Street Preachers song from up above and it fits the criteria for this thread.

Here is the current list of nominations. I can't guarantee that it's de-duped. I can't guarantee that it's all hair metal/hard rock, but it mostly looks great, imo. Let me know if anything is fucked up.

Oh and sorry, Nick B. That particular Gene Loves Jezebel song just didn't make the cut. I watched it on youtube and they sure looked like a hair metal band, but they just didn't sound like one.

how would you guys feel if i nominated tracks from Metallica's black album? I feel like it'd be interesting to have in here since a) "serious" metal fans generally hate it or don't consider it metal, b) it didn't make any impact on the metal poll and c) c'mon, it's pre-93 hard rock, they had long hair and toured with GNR
― richie goingham (some dude), Saturday, 21 August 2010 12:25 (fourteen years ago) link
Hmmmm... that's a tricky one, but I could see perhaps the first few singles (Sandman, Unforgiven, Matters) being nominated.

― meat by mistake (kkvgz), Saturday, 21 August 2010 12:40 (fourteen years ago) link
It's pop metal so i don't see why not. A few pop metal fans complained that it wasn't in the big metal poll. I'm pretty damn sure it would make the strip club rule and um Kirk had an earring and wore make up during the Load period.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 21 August 2010 12:43 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, I'm just gonna go for it
Metallica - Enter SandmanMetallica - UnforgivenMetallica - Nothing Else Matters
I love "Sad But True" and "Wherever I May Roam" and some deep cuts too but maybe those are a little too true metal? I dunno.

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 21 August 2010 12:49 (fourteen years ago) link
i think it should be here, totally. was hoping it'd be in the other poll but the less pop "Midlife Crisis" got the spot instead.
― richie goingham (some dude), Saturday, 21 August 2010 12:50 (fourteen years ago) link
maybe our rule of thumb for gray area stuff is if it was a hit AND wasn't in the other poll.
xxp: Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I mean, Henry Kvlt Pvp would disagree, but...
Faith No More? Do we open the funk-metal floodgates? Funk-metal as long as it's pop-metal, I guess.

Ah, funk-pop-metal. Was just looking at "Cherry Pie" on the list and thinking how White Trash - "Apple Pie" is my favourite crassly jerkish comparison of possibly-underage girl to baked fruit+pastry product by a band beginning with W in that brief pre-Nevermind stretch of the 90s
(ok, I was reminded of it because I always have to stop and think for a minute to remember which is which. this post is not a nomination, I guess, just a musing)

yeah been caught stealing totally belongs. They were glam. As with the manics and redd kross, you can be glam & alt rock at the same time, but glam fans still liked them. Janes were the alt rock band glam fans, who generally hated alt rock, liked.
How about Enuff Z Nuff?Im guessing Jellyfish is a no? (i never liked them but knew loads who did)AOR bands I assume can qualify? I knew people who inexplicably liked Crown Of Thorns (google the singers hair!!)

Nominations for Thin Lizzy, White Zombie, and (for fuck's sake) the Manic Street Preachers almost makes me not want to participate in this thread. Clearly, some of you were jamming Mr. Mister when Bon Jovi ruled the airwaves.
